NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to Meet With Police Unions

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will meet with police unions today after weeks of tension related to anti-police protests the mayor appeared to support.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and senior leadership of the NYPD will also attend the private meeting, the mayor's office said.

De Blasio was booed by some attendees at a police graduation ceremony Monday, and hundreds of officers turned their backs to the screen outside the church when he spoke at the funeral of NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos over the weekend.

Union leaders say the mayor has been encouraging anti-police sentiments, after De Blasio made statements that appeared to support people protesting the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, who were both killed by police officers this summer.
